I think he deserves a pardon of some sort, I mean this was 5 almost 6 years ago, he had been in jail for 2 years already , so he has in jail for 7 or 8 years now all together for that , I mean he was 16 when he did this, court system gave him 20 Years at 16 . He will get out and know absolutely nothing about living an adult live in the real world, he almost stands zero chance at a decent life when released.
This is the problem with our government, wasting money on locking everyone up instead of helping better those that have a chance at a productive future

It takes a bit to get your head right after a short bit. I couldn't imagine adjusting after 20 years.
I say give it to him anyways.
You have to admit throwing rocks off an over pass is dumb.

I was under 10 they probably would have put us in juvenile hall, if someone got hurt, not that this is funny.
I remember when they caught a teen in Everett that threw a bowling ball from the overpass and killed a Boeing worker.

My dad told my boy to grab a stick from the fire and light black cats. My boy was 4 at the time. I laughed at my dad and told him that wasn't a good idea.
Totally different parenting now than back then.
We used to get preemptive whippings before we went into stores. Lol.

Absolutely it was a dumb idea . But what I'm saying is the kid was 16 when 8t happend he won't be released till 40. He has no idea how to live like a young adult in the real world which is truly sad if you ask me

I was born in 1958. We played outside till we had those dirt rings around our necks
Made our own bows& arrows drank from the hose ,fished ,hunted rode our bikes against traffic made ramps to ride our bikes over just like we'd seen evil knievel do on the wide world of sports. Watched all those great TV shows like Andy Griffith ,Gilligans island , gun smoke, bonanza, leave it to beaver ,Brady bunch the mod squad but it wasn't all fun & games. I also remember the kennedy & Martin Luther king assassinations segregation & desegregation in our schools . I remember watching the moon landing.
I know things are constantly changing but I look back on my childhood with fond memories of a simpler time. !
Oh , I almost forgot weed was $30.00/ oz back in the day.

LOL, yeah, real dumb, but somehow it was unintentional if I read it correctly. Doesn't make sense.

We had a rust hole in the backseat floor board of our Ford Pinto. We used to sneak sticks in the car and wait till my father got up to a decent speed, then we'd force them down and watch the asphalt eat them like a beaver.
I still have father's knuckle marks on my knees.

my parents were friends with this other family,, we had 2 boys and they had 2 boys, the parents would play dominoes all night,, but us kids would get into some pretty serious bouts of "Battle Tops",,, and a good hit would send the other guys top flying out of the ring!

What doesn't make sence? Yes it was dumb he shouldn't have been throwing rocks period. But he wasn't throwing them at cars it wasn't like some main highway over pass or big city over pass . Hardly any traffic. He didn't see the car coming or know he was about to kill a family.
My point is he's not some murder or rapist or thief, he was a kid being a dumb kid throwing rocks. He shouldn't be sentenced 20 years for such actions I think there are more ways to go about situations like that for young kids to still have a chance at living a decent life and not being institutionalized at such a young age and have literally zero clue how the real world works when he gets out.
Sorry not trying to drag this out and hijack the thread just wanted to clear that up for ya hope that make sence of the situation for you. Have a merry Christmas everyone
